Are We Anticipating the Right Savior?
Sermon Nov 30, 2025
Today, we associate the word "king" with ostentatious spectacle: pageants, ceremonies, castles, palaces, police, and armies. But Jesus was a king of service, suffering - and was without a home: Without coercion, without wealth, he whispered wisdom that still changes lives today.

Repentance: The Gift We Don't Know We Need
Sermon Dec 7th
How do you repent? If reading the Bible today convinced you that you need to repent, how would you do it? Learn the true meanings behind common Biblical phrases and how the teachings of John the Baptist prepare us to fully understand the message of Jesus.

Heal, Forgive, Relate: walk St Paul's walk
Sermon Dec 14th
While Old Testament theology tied sickness to punishment for sin, Jesus healed and forgave, thereby allowing the healed to attend worship... St Paul's walk from pharisee to apostle epitomized this transition in our understanding of God's will.
